Anglo-Boer War Concentration Camps. Bladey horrific. They speak of the British propaganda campaigns, the British Press...The Daily Mail as usual obliges. All the way back then. Making the Boers less of individuals and more of a collectively despised group.
Nothing has changed! "100 Years ago the British Government was involved in a MASSIVE #propaganda ploy." "Propaganda was rife & under NO circumstances were they going to tell the British Public what they were doing." Displayed the camps as "refugee camps"
Just part of the new style of warfare. They made out the Boer people to be tremendously primitive. The propaganda machine was powerful, aided by moving film. MORE Theatre. #Ukraine
These Boer women and children portrayed Britain was controlling the press of Europe with cable lines from Cape Town. So Europe didn't hear about the Genocide. The British public didn't believe this.
"Wholesale Cruelty" - Emily Hobhouse.
More and more reports filtered through. European press started reporting on Concentration Camps in #SouthAfrica. Emily was labelled a liar. (They denied what they were doing) What's new again? #UkraineRussiaWar

The result of a British Concentration camp. These images were used as Propaganda in the British press, suggesting this is how the Boers treated their children! LIARS. Lizzy Died at the Bloemfontein concentration camp because her father wouldn't surrender. 
Maybe a Truth and reconciliation commission is required for the Anglo-Boer War? The British need to come clean on what they did. War Crimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity need to be recognised. #ConcentrationCamps #SouthAfrica #Britain
British officials considered a publicity campaign to cover up the true conditions of concentration camps. Yet somehow, the public have forgotten to stop trusting Media and corrupted politicians and do their research. #UkraineRussiaWar #DonbassGenocide theguardian.com/world/2001/dec…
With scorched earth tactics and the use of concentration camps, the Boer War was a glimpse of what was to come in 20th century warfare.
Unsurprising that the Americans sided with Britain ... even though #CrimesAgainstHumanity were being committed. Nothing has changed. They sent warnings via the press.... This site is a treasure trove
